1. LOL!!!!!!

:rofl:

[kenfrequed]

2. Uhm what??!!

How the hell is that even remotely possible?

Does this mean she is going to be passing on intelligence information to her right wing christian militia friends?

[uppityperson]

3. To receive?

[Pavulon]

4. Great. She now has access to all types of sensitive information

hopefully she will learn something, how to shut the fuck up being top on the list.

[Mister Ed]

71. She gathers all her intelligence from right-wing talk radio hosts.

She devoutly believes every bit of bullshit they spew. If intelligence agencies present any information to the Intelligence Committee that doesn't jibe with the diatribes of wingnut radio hosts, she''ll believe - truly believe - that the intelligence agencies are lying or misinformed.

[glinda]

5. Remember, she wants the Dems investigated.SOS! .-.!

[NYMdaveNYI]

18. House Committee on Un-American Activities

[glinda]

25. Always wondered why her eyes were rolling around in her head.

[SharonAnn]

6. Wow! You're right. You can't make this stuff up!

[housewolf]

7. In this whole year of ironic actions, this one takes the cake!

To put one of the most mis-informed, stubborn, close-minded reps on the Intelligence Committee just leaves me speechless

:spank: :spank: :spank:

[crazylikafox]

8. Isn't that an oxymoron?

[LawnKorn]

29. Well, Bachmann is a moron for sure

Or is that Moran for sure?

[paparush]

58. She's a MaxiMoron nt

[4dsc]

74. That was my first thought. nt

[Journeyman]

9. And so she joins the Scarecrow in the elusive search down the Yellow Brick Road. . .

Who knew, when their quest began, that the journey to ask the Wizard for intelligence would be an affair for a Committee?

[jtuck004]

10. And my math teachers said one couldn't divide by zero. Yet, here we go.... n/t

[awoke_in_2003]

33. They need to use that...

in the Dos Equis commercials (most interesting man in the world)- "he can divde by zero".

[NV Whino]

11. Oy vey!

[COLGATE4]

12. These people are just fucking crazy.

[MedicalAdmin]

13. On the upside she's rabidly paranoid, so she should fit right in.

I'm nominating this for the irony of the year award.

[Love Bug]

14. Some jokes just write themselves...

If she were a D&D character, she'd have an intel of oh, like 3.

[Plucketeer]

15. After Death Panels, and

tax evasion extentions, this seems quite logical. :crazy:

[lunatica]

16. I'm sure she'll fail the IQ test miserably

Thereby being the first person with no IQ.

[NYMdaveNYI]

21. If they ever began giving congressional IQ tests,

the Republicans would bring out a stack of the papers onto the floor of Congress, and complain that it’s too confusing.

[pacalo]

17. Only in the Upsidedown States of America would this be possible.

:crazy:

[louslobbs]

19. I guess there were no more empty seats on the "unintelligent" Committee

or the hypocrisy committee, or the hateful Christians committee, or the I want my people armed and angry committee, or the God is talking to me committee, but to put her on the intelligence committee just because those were full, is an insult to anyone who is actually intelligent. Perhaps they will install a prayer closet in the committee room like the one in the movie Carrie, so that she can go into the closet, talk to her God and continue to gain and pass on the great words of wisdom to all her fellow teabaggers and Republican frauds. If there is a God, may God help us all. The dumbing down of America continues.

[bemildred]

20. Priceless. nt

[suzanner]

22. This IS awful!

Now, whenever she claims the sky is falling, the more 'credible' media might take her seriously. How scary. She only wins her district because she gets money but no scruples. Note how she plays the 'foster' mom card yet you rarely hear from those implied happy, well-adjusted foster kids- not. A true Rovian/Atwater slimer.

[SemperEadem]

23. we're all doomed.

[proReality]

24. Okay

Now I know we're doomed.

[MsPithy]

26. I want to repeat something Jackpine Radical wrote,

"Satire is dead, you can't compete." Or here's a variation: Satire is dead, you can't keep up.

[Windy]

27. that's an oxymoron on its face!!! Wow.... bad news. nt

[L. Coyote]

31. Correction: Oxymoran

[pleah]

28. omfg

:wow:

[WVRICK13]

30. I Give Up. Can Anyone Tell Me

the exact time we went through a strange force field that made all logic become totally illogical. I seriously feel like the past ten years have been a time of some strange influence that makes people ignorant and the more ignorant they become the better the public likes them. Right is left, up is down, round is square, nothing makes any sense. Our Democratic President is acting like a Bush regime flunky and the Democrats in Congress just roll over in fear. Or is this really part of the grand plan and things are going exactly as planned?

[awoke_in_2003]

34. the past 10 years...

have been like a bad acid trip.

[Confusious]

64. The bad acid trip became the new normal. nt

[awoke_in_2003]

32. I expected a link to The Onion...

as some have probably said, truth is stranger than fiction.

[davidthegnome]

35. Amen to that

Dean Koontz likes to use that quote - I never suspected I'd find it so disturbingly true as I do now.

[PfcHammer]

36. I refudiate this action.

[azul]

37. A no-brainer.

Verily, the intelligence industry gets to pick its own oversight.

[jmondine]

70. Yes, she is.

[rug]

38. First order of business: rename the committee.

[fascisthunter]

39. powerful interests are behind these nazi-like americans

she has no fucking merit to have this position.

[BlueJac]

40. The unintelligent on the intelligence committee........

no shit you can not make this shit up! WTF But after this week anything thing can happen. Ask the man Obama, it took a Democrat president to pass the Bush tax cuts,,,,,,,,,,fucking unreal, way to go BHO

[Delphinus]

41. Oh my

fukin' gawd. :puke:

[Kennah]

42. I did not know ...

... that osmosis was present in House committees. It is one of the plausible explanation. However, it might have made more sense to first put her on Education and Labor for a while.

[Pharaoh]

43. My God!!

They are fucking insane,

I'm thinking this must be the Onion or satire, but I am fearful it is not.:crazy:

[TygrBright]

44. You can't blame them. The Imbecile Committee has too many members already. n/t

[SoapBox]

45. Oxymoron of the Century!

[madrchsod]

46. well that`s one way to shut her up....

[Joanne98]

47. BWHAHAHAHAHA!

[JNelson6563]

48. Oxymoron of the year, to be sure.

Sometimes I think I've lived too long. I'm only 47.

Julie

[valerief]

49. Why do people still have hope? The thieves and inmates are running the asylum. nt

[stlsaxman]

50. First- Don Van Vliet dies... okay- it's hard but i can handle it. Now- THIS!?!?!?

Proof positive- THERE IS NO GOD.

[HughBeaumont]

60. Hell, that's been evident since 11/22/63, and again in December, 2000.

Nobody's looking out for us, except us. And sometimes, not even then . . .

[aggiesal]

51. The true definition of an Oxymoron n/t

[Loki]

52. Intelligence and Michelle Bachmann?????

How can you even use those two words in the same sentence?

[AsahinaKimi]

53. wow...

She needs an intelligence test first, one would think.

[Historic NY]

54. wow this is going to be a fun 2 years. I bet its less than 2 weeks before she f's up big.

[yellerpup]

55. The headline is the punchline.

These things seem to write themselves.

[MadMaddie]

56. My belief is that the assignment of roles like this to people like

Bachman will be one of the final nails in the Republican coffin.
Honestly she is a religious zeolot now on this most important committee...how can anything possibly go wrong?

All of the assignments have put radical and insane nuts in critical positions.

I believe the independents will finally see what we have been telling them all along.....

Americans will learn that there are consequences for putting the Republicans in charge of anything.:sarcasm:

:popcorn:

[IDemo]

57. In other news, The Onion folds as irony shares plummet n/t

[Still a Democrat]

59. (Insert joke here)

n/t

[russspeakeasy]

61. Did Obama negotiate this ?

[Johnny Harpo]

62. Bachman - Intelligence...Now There;s an Oxy-Moron

n/t

[Johnny Harpo]

63. Bachman - Intelligence...Now There's an Oxy-Moron

n/t

[applegrove]

Are they going to force her into being serious instead of a manipulative pot stirrer? Looks

like a very subtle form of warfare on tea partiers. Force them into reality and see how they backtrack?

[bitchkitty]

65. Funniest headline of the year! n/t

[No Elephants]

66. Good Lord. She conflates defending the Constitution with Homeland Security.

[goforit]

67. An appointment by Dick Cheney, I presume.

[LeftishBrit]

68. Two short planks or a box of rocks would be more suitable for an *Intelligence* Committee

[Ellipsis]

69. George Carlin could do 15 minutes on that.

May he rest in Peace.

[Blue Owl]

72. WHAT. THE. FUCK?

This joke isn't even close to being funny anymore.

:wtf:

[eppur_se_muova]

73. Irony overload. nt

[jillan]

75. And they think Wikileaks told intelligence secrets? Just wait until this idiot is interviewed on

faux. You can be sure she will tell all.

[tabasco]

76. Idiocracy was a documentary, not a comedy. n/t

[La Lioness Priyanka]

77. henceforth referred to as the "irony committee"

[tavalon]

78. Those two things should never appear in the same sentence

[RBInMaine]

79. She should be on the "UN-INTELLIGENT FUCKING WHACKJOB" committee.

[sellitman]

80. This takes the expression "In over your head" to a new place.

It also shows what a sad group of Republicans there are in Power if she is the one handled this sort of position.

[and-justice-for-all]

81. what a joke...nt

[ProudDad]

82. Satire is still dead... (n/t)

[CRK7376]

83. Seeking some

smidgen of intelligence maybe?
